Eyo so-

Since I have ADHD and Mysta has ADHD it's self projecting time!!!

Mysta Rias and Reader with ADHD

Mysta wasn't surprised when you told him- actually the entirety of Luxiem- Shoto already knew.

Mysta just had a feeling... Something was definitely off about you unlike the others- like him!

Everyone got an answer one way while you got the same answer doing it a whole different way- like how did you even get that?! Only Mysta can truly understand that feeling-

He wasn't too good at catching himself when he went of track but he was good at catching you straying away from the original subject.

It's why he felt so comfortable just talking around you. With a lot of people, I always tried to stay overly conscious about what he was saying, he didn't wanna stray away into 5 subjects at once and throw everyone off... that happened a lot. No one was able to keep up- but with you, he could go through 5 subjects in 1 minute and you could keep up the ENTIRE time, even going ahead of him.

It mostly was brought up when Luca asked.

"Oh, ya! I have ADHD!"

"Oh shit, really? Mysta does too I think," Vox comments, "For some reason I had a hunch you were neurodivergent in some way..." Mysta said

But with that came the struggles. But struggles both of you could relate to, so it didn't feel as lonely.

Both of you had a tendency to talk over others on accident. The impulsivity that comes with ADHD causes this. Yeah, yeah, neurotypical people do this too, but not nearly as much. For ADHD, it can affect personal relationships, just like any other symptom of ADHD.

Both of you have a small ass attention span, and you commend Mysta for people able to play the whole game of The Quarry, or Minecraft for even 5 minutes on his own. You loved games with puzzles and stuff, like Madison since it was horror... but you had a small amount of patience and even less for focus so for finding the damn green safe passcode, you opted for looking it up on Google over actually finding it-

You and Mysta help each other with getting work done- usually it seems like Mysta's the one doing the reminding. Hell sometimes he'll stream while you're in VC with him since you were doing something like homework. If he heard what sounded like you going off track, he was instantly nudging you back to your work until you got it done. You did the same for him. If he had some shit to do but was procrastinating, you'd push him back on track.

Hyperactive episodes are wild when you got 2 people with ADHD in the room-

You two will rage at the faking disorder cringe compilations for HOURS... you two will MALD over people who fake ADHD so much Jesus christ-

"NO- IF YOUR GIRLFRIEND HAS ADHD I'M MORE THAN 110% SURE SHE WON'T GET HYPER ON COFFEE!!" "Yeah!!"

"THAT'S WHY SHIT LIKE ADDERALL AND VYVANSE CALM US DOWN BUT MAKES ANYONE WHO DOESNT HAVE ADHD HYper- I physically can not get a sugar rush- I've never had a sugar rush in my life!!" "Exactly! Caffeine doesn't do shit to us... like if she were to have something similar to ADHD then you mean ADD... because people with ADD get hyper from shit like Adderall. It has the opposite affect on people without ADHD!" "That's why it's so addicting too!"

Mysta would gladly listen to you ramble about your hyperfixations, obviously jumping in with a comment here or there.

You'd do the same, and if you both shared the same hyperfixation at that moment? Oh boy... silence doesn't exist-

You're both patient with each other.

You know you have to get work done but Mysta won't shut the fuck up about something, you get his attention and gently remind him you need to get something done before the hyperfocus wears off- he understands and fucks off to do something else for a little bit until you're done. If you're rambling off about whatever the fuck, the does the same.

"I'm sorry but I gotta get this done! I'll talk to you and listen in a little okay? I love you!~"

But oh jesus christ what is a clean room honestly-

Organization? What??

Organizer? I hardly even know 'er-

Both of your rooms are a death trap.

Who's is worse? We don't know. We can't tell. We're too afraid to get close to either person's room door.

But sometimes you band together with that hyperfocus mentality currently affecting you and get y'all's rooms cleaned one by one...

But it ain't staying like that for long...

It's fucked up in a week max

Usually in 2 days it's back to the way it was. Honestly what was the point? We don't know- but "Hey! I found my Miku pop figure I was looking for!!"

With impulsivity comes great spending habits lmao-

Between the two you MIGHT be better-

If you exclude thr 100 dollars you spent using Christmas to get Xiao when you lost his 50/50 to Diluc

But you are bad about spending small amounts of money on the stupidest shut you find online or in somewhere like Walmart or Target-

Only like 4 dollars but still-

You when to Walmart with the intent on getting groceries but came back with toys that you for distracted by, 2 gallons of Milo's Sweet Tea (or unsweetened if you're uncultured- fuck unsweet tea, this post was made by the sweet tea gang-), candy, some random ass kids art supplies, the kids gummy vitamins, and more random candy you got at the check out counter... as well as McDonald's.

"(Y/n) that's... that's not groceries.." "technically it IS groceries!-" "not the ones we needed though! You can nOT be trusted!" "YoU CAN'T EITHER-"

Y'all spent the next like 3 hours playing with Legos and shit bro-

Mysta on his way to try and clean his room but ended up finding some old pictures and stuff he forgot about.. you walked in and ended up joining him.

Please anything but the actual task I have to do-

When you have conversations and go from topic A to topic 10 in 5 minutes people ask how and then proceed to be amazed at how you do mental gymnastics all the way from how the conversation began to how it finished flawlessly and Mysta's just there like "yep... sounds about right"

How do you even remember what our conversation what about?!-

.... ssshhhh... don't question the ways of the neurodivergents...

ADHD isn't fun, but it can be more bearable when someone who can relate is around to talk about it and you help each other through it.

Guilty Party : History of Lying - Dan/Bella - Autism Acceptance Month Prompt 9 : Canon Autistic Character

Prompt : Write a fic around a character that is CANONICALLY Autistic. Now, what qualifies as canon? If the crew behind the show has confirmed it to be intended (examples : Entrapta from She Ra, Dr. Brennan from Bones) ; The show explicitly says they are Autistic (examples : Sam from Atypical, Shaun from The Good Doctor, Tina from Bob's Burgers) ; There are in-show comments/jokes around that character being Autistic/having Aspergers (examples : Abed from Community, Reagan from Inside Job) ; They are vaguely confirmed as neurodivergent, if not specifically Autistic (example : Dan from Guilty Party (Season Two)) Headcanons : FTM!Dan, Dan has Autism and Major Depressive Disorder

Dan hadn't found it too crucial to get a diagnosis but, as college went on and on and especially after how difficult the lying course had been for him to get through, he decided it would probably be better in the end to know what exactly was so different about his brain, and Bella encouraged his search for answers.

It took some time to find a doctor who he could trust to give him an accurate diagnosis considering that he was assigned female at birth and a lot of neurodivergent diagnoses (such as Autism or ADHD) presented differently in AFAB people. He also knew that the research and diagnostic criteria for such things was based on that of people assigned male at birth, so even with a doctor who'd take him seriously, he knew the screening might not be 100% accurate in every regard.

Still, he pushed forward with the process and eventually was screened for Autism, ADHD, OCD, and any other stuff they might find along the way. This screening resulted in a diagnosis for Autism Spectrum Disorder, Major Depressive Disorder, and another diagnosis for Gender Dysphoria, the last of which he found mildly amusing because he already had been diagnosed with it multiple times when he'd first pressed forward in medically transitioning.

"I got my results back" he told his girlfriend, slightly nervous. She'd never been hateful to him for his quirks or anything, but it had always been a little awkward with her because she was painfully neurotypical and just didn't get it. He never faulted her for this since, again, she was still kind to him, but it made striking up this particular conversation all the more nerve-wracking. So nerve-wracking, in fact, that he just emailed her the PDF of his results to look over before retreating to his dorm room.

Bella chuckled lightly to herself as she opened the email and looked through his results. The more she read about it, the more it made sense. Her boyfriend was Autistic. The MDD diagnosis also tracked with a few depressive episodes he'd had while they were dating. He handled them well, but it still worried her, how the light in his eyes would just vanish and how he would hardly eat for flickers of time.

She also remembered what he'd told her about Autism presenting differently in AFAB people, so she opened up YouTube and searched "autism in girls" to find some research material for later. It was weird, typing that in, because she never saw Dan as a girl (because he wasn't), but she also knew that would probably be the quickest way to find what she was looking for. She picked a few of the top results that seemed to be from actually Autistic people, put them away in a little playlist for her to watch later, and pocketed her phone.

Dan heard the knock at his door, quickly bookmarked the psychology textbook he'd been rereading to distract himself, and opened it with a weak smile. Bella smiled down at him. "You wanna go get some lunch with the others?"

Dan's smile became much more genuine as he eagerly nodded and left his dorm room with his girlfriend. They didn't talk about his diagnoses anymore that day, but he felt more seen than he had in his entire life.
